Have any of you gone with a 250mm tire on the rear? I own an M109R and it comes with a 240 rear, and most guys go to the Dunny E3 250 when it comes time to replace the stocker. I don't know about the wheel for the Rocket, but the 250 actually fits the stock 109 rim better than the 240 does, and the 250 is considerably wider. Just curious...I would think the 250 would look sweet on a Rocket!
 
Motorcycle tires on cars??...I wonder if car tires would work on motorcycles??? What do you guys think???!!
 
Which companies make the rear tires (the 240) for the Rocket? I've noticed Metzler makes one, but if their tire for the Rocket is anything like the one they make for the 109, they don't last very long. They are a nice, soft, sticky compound, which is good for traction, but terrible for longevity. Who makes the longest lasting tire for the Rocket. I've gotta imagine with the all the torque this beat produces, it's gotta be hard on rear tires....
